Comment by Lucas Gillispie on December 3, 2010 at 2:26pm: Two new articles out in the past weeks about the project:

World of Warcraft Invades Language Arts Class - http://www.convergemag.com/classtech/World-of-Warcraft.html

Teacher Uses Video Game To Enhance Students' English Skills -http://www.starnewsonline.com/article/20101203/ARTICLES/101209897/1...

Comment by Kae on April 8, 2010 at 12:31pm: Thanks! The video interviews one of the researcher who worked on this: Virtual Worlds: Real Leaders
http://www.ibm.com/ibm/gio/media/pdf/ibm_gio_gaming_report.pdf

But it will be much easier to show or get instructors/adminstrators to watch the video rather than reading the 34 page report!

Comment by PeggySheehy on April 8, 2010 at 9:20am: Posting a great video on Games and Leadership! More fuel for the fire!

Comment by Lucas Gillispie on March 11, 2010 at 4:48pm: Hey guys! VWBPE starts tomorrow, and what a better way to kick off the event than with a World of Warcraft tour led by our awesome students in the WoWinSchool Project. This tour starts at 8AM EST (5AM PST or Second Life Time). If you are interested in participating, don't forget to RSVP! You can find out more at - http://wrathfuldeity.wordpress.com/wow-tour-at-vwbpe/
